JEB Dec 2023 12:54pm, 4 Dec 2023 2,116 posts	0 JEB I taught myself to knit socks this summer using The Sock Knitting Bible by Lynne Rowe after spotting the perfect Christmas present pattern for my Dr Who obsessed daughter. Managed a plain pair that fit perfectly, had a go at colourwork with these Halloween socks as a practice run. Lots of lessons learnt, including colourwork being too tight on the first sock, but it gave me the confidence to crack on with my daughters socks. I'm now well on my way to getting a pair of Tardis socks under the tree. Socks are definitely my new favourite thing to make.
